I woke and looked around. It was pitch black and I could barely see my hand in front of my face. I wondered why they hadn't kept a light on, but then I realized that vampires could see perfectly in the dark. Suddenly, a sharp pain jabbed my stomach. I ran a hand along my stomach and tried to sit up, but another sharp sting gripped me, punching me from within. I could feel that some of my ribs had cracked. "Uuuhhh!!" I screamed out, holding my ribs as I lay back onto the hospital bed.
Within a moment, cold hands were on my forehead. "What happened?" Yes, it was Amy.
I said nothing.
"Leila, you have to tell me when you're hurting," she said in a low voice, "for the baby."
Someone took a deep breath, standing not far away. "What's wrong with her?" It was Charlotte. Amy and I weren't alone.
"I'm sure that she's fine," Amy said, pushing me back against the pillows.
"My ribs," I whispered, not wanting Charlotte to hear.
